Dungeness, Kent. At ten o'clock on the night of the 22nd of June, 1958, the honorary secretary was informed that a small coaster was ashore half a mile north-east of the life-boat station with her engine broken down. The life-boat Mabel E. Holland could not be launched until 11.30 because of the state of the tide. There was a moderate sea and a fresh south-westerly wind. The life- boat found the Italian motor vessel Carmela and at her master's request took her in tow. Later the tow was taken over by a tug from Dover, and the life-boat reached her station at 1.55.
